Hello Anto, My name is venkat and a parent of 2 school going children. Your attempt to support and assist psrents facing challenges is welcome and appreciated. However my concern is the shelf life or the holding time of some of those dishes that you have suggested. Especially the ones with Ghee, coconut, chicken and even veggys like broccoli, vermicelli etc. These ingredients are not safe to consume after an hour of preparation, especially when packed in dabbas and stored in uncobtrolled temperatures . This is based on the presumption that you are proposing the dabbas to be packed and carried by children while leaving for school early morning…
